Why I want it :He's been growing on me, honestly. xD I didn't click with him right away, but I keep looking at him and thinking how perfect he would be as Lithia's lost brother and the story and character have been forming in my mind for a while now.
On top of that, I adore Great Danes. So, even though his design is fairly simple, it speaks well to me.
Creative Definition of Character :Personality TraitsOverconfident - He rarely realizes his limits until it's too late. If he wants to do something, he'll often believe he can, regardless of whether it's rational to think so or not.
Boastful - If he's done something he believes to be an achievement, you'll never hear the end of it. At least, not until he's achieved something new.
Loyal - Once a bond forms, he will do everything he can to prevent it from breaking. He will sometimes even continue to cling to it after the other has attempted to sever their ties.
Determined - When he puts his mind to doing something, he will do it if it's possible. Even in times he realizes his confidence has mislead him, he'll continue to try.
LikesA good Challenge - He likes to push himself and break his own limits if necessary. It's the best feeling in the world for him to know he's beaten the odds.
Trees - Big, sturdy trees are a favorite lounging spot for him. He enjoys a more aerial view and likes that a good tree can give him that while he's relaxing.
Snow - It's biting and icey cold but aside from it making everything wet, it's very comforting. On top of this, falling snow makes hunting easier for him. His sharp eyes can spot prey easily through the snowfall and it muffles the sound of his efforts. He'd take a heavy snow over a hot sun any day.
DislikesStorms - Because of the storm that stranded him out in the middle of nowhere and robbed him of his ability to fly, he now avoids storms. They make him feel vulnerable and small, feelings that are foreign and unpleasant to him.
Flowering plants - It's the taste of them his doesn't like. He doesn't have too much appreciation for the aesthetics of them, either, but his main reason to avoid them is the taste. If he's going to be eating greenery, he much prefers grasses that do not flower.
Wetness - It makes him feel heavy and miserable. Flying with heavy wings is just not fun. He's always careful to maintain the water-resistant quality of his feathers to prevent this.
Not Quite Business as Usual"C'mon Thia, you never want to go hunting with me!" Ruvario grumbled to his sister. She was refusing again to go with him, as she almost always did. She wasn't a skilled hunter yet and at this rate, she never would be.
"Just go on your own, Rio, I only ever slow you down." She frowned at him, obviously firm in her decision.
"But I could teach you so much! I'll even show you how to dive under a tree and pull back up without hitting the ground!" He dipped himself down as though preparing to jump into flight.
"Tell you what, how about you go by yourself and learn some new tricks that you can tell me all about when you get back." She didn't seem to be very happy about the compromise, but he simply decided this was because she hadn't been fully convinced of how fun a good run around really was.
He considered for a second. It really didn't sound like too bad a deal. "Fine, but you're going to have to go out with me sometime soon, okay?"
"Fine." She answered flatly, re-situating herself. Apparently, she planned to spend the day in their tree once again. She'd be mooching off whatever he brought back with him, but really, he didn't mind so much. She was his little sister after all and mom and dad preferred to do their own things.
He grinned broadly, already anticipating the exciting hunt that was surely waiting for him, crouched low, then dropped gracefully from his branch. He spread his wings and caught the breeze just in time to simply tap the ground below before soaring high into the sky. He swooped back down once more to circle the tree.
"I'll be back around nightfall, Thia."
"Promise?" Came her usual response.
"Promise."
